“…Compressive strength, flexural strength, elastic modulus, and, in some cases, viscosity were derived from force-deforma tion data. For first-year ice with 5 ppt salinity at -10°C, the flexure strength is about 860 kPa, and the apparent elastic modulus is about 1.4 GPa [Lau and Browne, 1989]. A typi cal value of viscosity (in primary creep) of young ice was determined to be 15 GPa • s [Coonetai, 1989].…”

The Coordinated Eastern Arctic Experiment (CEAREX) was conducted to study the processes regulating eastern Arctic Ocean exchange of momentum, heat, and biomass. The primary CEAREX objectives were to understand the structure and function of mesoscale (order 10 km) and submesoscale processes in the transport of heat northward, and to understand the ice behavior and associated acoustic ambient noise and coherence. The Drift Experiment described here was one part of the comprehensive CEAREX program. It focused on the transition period during freeze up and on the dark winter period. The Drift Experiment was designed to observe atmosphere, ice, and ocean behavior simultaneously. Specific observations were carried out under independent research programs by investigators from a number of organizations. The concurrent information provided an opportunity to measure and understand the relationship between stresses observed in individual ice floes and the geophysical driving forces and overall ice conditions, and to identify and describe noise generated by different processes. The coordinated effort has resulted in a complete set of data for helping to understand the dynamic interactions among ice, ocean, and atmosphere. This large, valuable, and unique data set will be archived by the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colo. Some subsets will be available on CD‐ROM for simple and inexpensive use on personal computers.

Snow and ice research during the past quadrennial covers a wide range of topics varying from the climatic effects of large ice sheets and sea ice covers to applied problems such as the icing of power lines and communication facilities. This review focuses in more detail on three topics of the many subjects investigated to provide a more coherent look at the advances achieved and prospects for the future. These are: the influences of layers in seasonal snow covers; research in ice mechanics on freshwater and sea ice; and remote sensing of polar ice sheets. These topics provide useful examples of the general needs in snow and ice research applicable to most areas, e.g. better representation in models of detailed processes, careful controlled laboratory experiments to quantify processes, and field studies to provide the appropriate context for interpretation of processes from remote sensing.
